Hi list,
another problem I encountered while installing and testing context- minimals is that the context command is not willing in my case to autobuild the metafun graphics I included in the document. Would be nice if someone has an advice to me on to fix that, got it working under texexec by creating a cont-sys.tex and linking it to the directory where cont-sys.ori is located.
mkii or mkiv?
in mkii one can set the mp related directives in the cont-sys file, but depending on the distribution one might also need to enable write 18 in the config file (the used one can be found with)
texmfstart --edit kpse:texmf.cnf mtxrun --edit kpse:texmf.cnf
in mkiv things are done automatically as no external mp is used
The problematic output is: mplib : initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun' mplib : making 'metafun.mp' into '/opt/context-minimals/tex/ texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/ccfefc91ec3ed68af1aeed1f470fef4d/

so what needs to be changed to get context mkiv running and creating the metapost output?
Ok problem solved... missing rights to write to /opt/context-minimals/tex/ texmf-cache/, just chmoded it 777 so it will be usable for graphic generation. Would be nice to include the possibilty to add in a standard way a personal texmf-cache, or is there a way to do so and I don't know about it?
